Bear Creek Golf Club - East Course
Rating Snapshot
About
Bear Creek Golf Club's East Course is considered a tad more difficult than the West, with tighter fairways and smaller greens. Fourteen of 18 holes dogleg, so its label as a target course is accurate. Elevation changes make club selection a challenge, and the par 5s are tough to reach in two. No. 5 stands out on the front: a 385-yarder that doglegs left and involves an approach over water. No. 8 is longer (418 yards) and features water in the fairway landing area and along the right side. On the back, no. 15 is the signature, playing 432 yards and tricky because of the blind approach shot.

Pace of Play was better
The slow pace of play at Bear Creek has discouraged me from playing in the past, but this round only backed up once on a blind spot hole. Everything else about the course was good to great. It’s an interesting layout with plenty challenge.
Amazing Course
It was my birthday and my father along with cousins played a round of golf here. Blown away, this course was beautiful. Clean, open, green fairways. Greens were clean and not dried out. Overall great course to play.
West Course is in excellent condition
Other than some issues on the #10 green, the course is in really nice condition.
Greens Conditions ☹️
Many of the Greens had issues. Re-soded in some places. Other looked like algae or fungus and several of the Tee boxes were closed.
Outside set up at the clubhouse was very nice.
I will play again just hope they fix the greens quickly for the price to play here.
Greens are unacceptable.
Paying full price for greens that have massive patches of bare ground and clumps of grass… unreasonable. Very disappointed.
A few poor greens
East side had some greens that need a lot of help
Especially number 3 and 6 and one or two on thr back side
Overall course is in fair shape
Greens are in bad shape . It needs major attention
It was a disappointing day as we discovered the greens were not in good shape. The person in the pro shape did not mentioned that the 3rd hole par3 has a temporary green which was not playable. I would not return playing this course until I hear better review from other players. There are better courses in the area with same price range that are in much better shape.
Poor greens
The greens on the east course were terrible. The majority of them need serious attention. It was playing through ground under repair. The rest of the course was in good shape. People were great. Service at the bar/restaurant was very nice.
Greens need attention!
Great course, but some greens need to be repaired.
Beautiful and challenging course
Very well maintained, layout is fun and challenging.
Good outing
Course conditions are descent. Some of the greens need serious work. Sod was put down and allowed to die. Staff was very friendly. We only saw the beverage cart once.
Greens are Heinous
The layout and fairways are nice but the greens are absolutely heinous. Massive sand patches in the middle of greens are overall terrible condition.
